The BRITA Purity C Steam Starter Kit C500 is a water filtration system designed specifically for use with combi ovens, steamers, and other steam-based cooking equipment in commercial kitchens. The kit includes the filter head, a C500 cartridge, and a flow meter, giving operators everything needed to get the system running from the outset.

Untreated mains water typically carries dissolved minerals — primarily calcium and magnesium — that accumulate inside steam generators, heat exchangers, and spray nozzles over time. The Purity C Steam cartridge targets these compounds through a combination of ion exchange and activated carbon filtration, reducing scale build-up and removing substances that can affect the taste and aroma of steamed food. In a busy kitchen, that translates directly into more consistent cooking results and fewer unplanned service calls.

For equipment operators, the practical advantages are straightforward:

  • Reduces limescale accumulation inside steam circuits and generators
  • Helps protect heat exchangers and nozzles from long-term mineral damage
  • Filters chlorine and organic compounds that can affect food flavour
  • Flow meter allows accurate monitoring of water throughput for timely cartridge changes
  • Starter kit format means no additional components are needed for initial installation

Installation is straightforward for a competent plumber or engineer — the unit connects inline to the cold water supply feeding the cooking equipment. It is important to size the filtration correctly for your water hardness and the volume of steam your equipment generates; the C500 cartridge capacity is suited to moderate-use sites, and harder water areas will see faster cartridge exhaustion. The flow meter takes the guesswork out of this by tracking actual water usage rather than relying on a fixed time interval.

This kit is well suited to sites running a single combi oven or steamer in moderate service — catering operations, care homes, schools, and smaller restaurant kitchens where equipment protection and consistent food quality are priorities. Sites running multiple high-volume steam appliances or operating in particularly hard water areas may benefit from a higher-capacity filtration setup.

If you're unsure which filtration capacity is right for your water conditions and equipment, our team is happy to help you work through it before you order.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know when the C500 cartridge needs replacing?

The included flow meter measures the volume of water passing through the filter, giving you an accurate indication of remaining cartridge capacity based on actual usage rather than elapsed time. This is particularly useful in kitchens where steam equipment use varies seasonally or by service volume, as it prevents both premature replacement and running beyond the cartridge's effective life.

Is this kit suitable for hard water areas?

The C500 cartridge is appropriate for sites with moderate water hardness and moderate steam equipment use. In areas with high water hardness, the cartridge will exhaust more quickly, which may mean more frequent replacements or a higher-capacity filtration system being the more practical long-term choice. If you're unsure about your local water hardness, your water supplier can provide this information, and our team can advise on the right specification.

Can this filter be used with any combi oven or steamer?

The Purity C Steam range is designed to be broadly compatible with commercial combi ovens and steam cooking equipment from most manufacturers, connecting inline to the cold water supply. That said, it's worth confirming compatibility with your specific equipment model before installation, particularly if the manufacturer specifies a minimum filtration standard as a condition of warranty.
